Good news--the embryo is exactly where it should be, and we're about 99% sure we even saw the heartbeat. (At ~3.5 weeks gestation, you can't really see that much--it's not really baby-shaped, but there was definitely some kind of pulsing action going on.) The pain I was experiencing was from a corpus luteum cyst on my left ovary, which is A) not uncommon in early pregnancy, and B) usually resolves on its own.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'd like to thank the Buffista who took it upon themself (is that a word?) to find out my snailmail address and send me a check to help out with the bills while unemployed.

Of course, being from the midwest, having guilt about cashing it...haven't yet.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I have a second round of interviews with the same company I interviewed at last week. They're having me meet with HR, the CTO, and the people who would be my immediate co-workers. Jobma and endurance-ma would both be greatly, greatly appreciated between 3:30-6 Eastern (12:30-3pm board time).

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Just to prove it can be done:
Today is our twentieth wedding anniversary. We survived a kid, the job markets of one point one Bushes and a Reaganomics, multiple sclerosis, and numerous rescued cats.
Now we're officially working on the next twenty.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The work deluge has finally hit. I'll probably be gray (aside from brief destressing visits) until sometime in September or until I defeat a balrog, whichever comes first.
